Memory Foam Dog Beds for Large Dogs

Memory foam is still a bit of a buzz word, even in the human world. Ranging from pillows, mattresses and shoes – it is so popular due to the high level of comfort and natural molding to our bodies. It’s no wonder that this somewhat magical substance is available in dog bedding as well.

If you have enjoyed what memory foam has to offer, you are sure to think your dog deserves the same high level of comfort!

Here are my top 3 picks in the world of memory foam dog beds for large dogs. It’s also a good idea to order from your relevant country, as these dog beds are big and bulky – you don’t want to pay extra for shipping if you don’t have to! look for wither the USA or UK flags, for products available from each country.

MILLIARD PREMIUM MEMORY FOAM DOG BED

Available in:

Size:

USA: Extra Large is 46 x 35 x 4 inches (other sizes are available – check out the sizing picture below to see all available)

UK: Large is the biggest available in this brand, which is 101 x 89 x 10 cm

WHAT EXACTLY IS IT?

A high quality dog bed from Milliard, who promise a durable and long lasting product that is ultra comfortable for your dog.

The certified memory foam within this bed is actually constructed from 2 separate layers, which gives it a medium-firm level of support. You may notice the weight is less as a results, so this bed is ideal if you want a memory foam bed that doesn’t weigh the earth!

The top layer is 2 inches thick and softer in texture. This sits on top of a base layer that is much higher in density, which is aimed at giving a solid foundation and preventing any sagging.

KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS:

Features

Benefits

Memory foam certified by CertiPUR-US®

Quality assurance mark that you are getting top-class foam within the dog bed.

Non-slip bottom

Confidence that the bed will stay put, wherever you decide to place it. Also, prevent sliding as your dog gets on and off the bed.

Washable cover

Easy care materials for you, so even if your dog has an accident, you can wash and dry the cover without shrinkage.

WHAT ELSE IS GOOD ABOUT IT?

This cover actually has a zipper opening on two sides, which makes it far easier to get on and off compared with the normal standard of a zip on a single side!

If you find you are needing to wash the cover a lot, for whatever reason, you can buy a second cover separately to alternate on the bed. (You can buy a second cover here)

IS THERE ANYTHING THAT’S NOT SO GOOD?

N.B. Not all manufacturers state this, but it’s a good idea with all memory foam beds!

They tend to need a “rest and relaxation” period before being used. By this I mean left for 24-48 hours. As you can imaging, these materials do have give in them and during packing and transit they tend to be flattened. Leaving them to lie flat for a day or two allows air to flow back into the foam and lets it expand to it’s full capacity and therefore maximum comfort for your dog.

Also, the foam can give off quite a “chemical” smell sometimes, so it’s a good idea to let this air off before use. Even better if you have room outside, or in a garage/shed, to let the inflation and airing off occur.

There seem to be quibbles about whether this bed is truly waterproof – the manufacturer advertises it as such, but some reviewers claim it’s not. My advice, save yourself the heartache, and just get a waterproof insert that sits just inside the cover, between it and the foam inner. For an extra $15-$20, if you have a dog that’s likely to have accidents, it just makes sense, for any dog bed. (Buy a waterproof liner here)

WHAT EXACTLY IS IT?

This dog bed contains a premium grade memory foam, to give your pooch a luxurious sleeping experience. Tested by experts, the bed is designed to give uniform support right across your dog’s body as they sleep. Suitable for dogs of any age, memory foam can offer particular benefits for older and infirm dogs, due to the uniform contouring which gives extra support for joints.

KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS:

Features

Benefits

Hypoallergenic outer

Less likely to cause skin irritations to your dog.

Waterproof inner

The inner is removable and washable, which is fantastic if you have an older dog that has accidents!

Bolster edging

Many dogs like to lean their head against something while they sleep, and the bolster edging provides the perfect option.

WHAT ELSE IS GOOD ABOUT IT?

The base is thick, and the high density foam provides immense stability to this dog bed, making it very comfortable.

The inner fabric is resistant to molds, mildews and dust mites making things more hygienic.

IS THERE ANYTHING THAT’S NOT SO GOOD?

No, but I would say that just like people, memory foam is not for all dogs. Some dogs prefer a “nesting” approach to their sleeping, where they burrow around to design their own level of comfort. If your dog does this currently, I wouldn’t spend money on a memory foam bed,a s they likely won’t stay on it!

BETTER WORLD PETS MEMORY FOAM DOG BED

WHAT EXACTLY IS IT?

A truly waterproof memory foam bed, with a 6 inch thickness for extra comfort and support. The cover is a think fabric, with a waterproof lining and also has an anti-slip base.

Can be machine washed on a cold cycle and comes with a 1 year guarantee too!

WHAT ELSE IS GOOD ABOUT IT?

Corporate Social Responsibility is an added bonus if you purchase this bed. Better World Pets donate 10% of their profits to the Humane Society of the United States, which is all about helping to protect animals. Not only are you buying something great for your own dog, you will be helping other animals too – I absolutely love this!

IS THERE ANYTHING THAT’S NOT SO GOOD?

I personally wouldn’t rate down any dog bed on this basis, as I would never expect a bed to be chew proof! However, some customers have given a lower rating because of this – Better World Pets do state in the product description that it is not suitable for heavy chewers.

They also state it’s not suitable for pups under 6 months old – which I agree with. Memory foam can sometimes be quite firm, and is probably not the best for young, soft bones that are still growing and developing.

KOSIPET DELUXE MEMORY FOAM DOG BED

WHAT EXACTLY IS IT?

This bed is quite unique, in that it has hundreds of small individual pocket springs, sandwiched between an upper and lower layer of memory foam. This is designed to give comfort over and above an average memory foam bed.

Features

Benefits

As well as protecting against moisture, this liming has the added benefit of helping to prevent flea and tick infestations.

Velcro outer fastening

Very easy to open and remove the outer cover for washing

Washable outer cover

Can be washed by machine or hand at 30 degrees

WHAT ELSE IS GOOD ABOUT IT?

Get’s excellent customer reviews, like this one on Amazon:

The base is thick, and the high density foam provides immense stability to this dog bed, making it very comfortable.

The inner fabric is resistant to molds, mildews and dust mites making things more hygienic.

IS THERE ANYTHING THAT’S NOT SO GOOD?

No negative feedback so far!

From my own perspective, the price seems to be quite low, but on investigation the manufacturer is selling directly to you, so there are no middle-men to add to the price. This makes it really good value for money.

BRINDLE SOFT MEMORY FOAM DOG BED

Available in:

Size: 52 x 34 inches (this one is extra large – make sure to click on the best size for your dog)

WHAT ELSE IS GOOD ABOUT IT?

IS THERE ANYTHING THAT’S NOT SO GOOD?

One word of warning, if you have a puppy or dog with incontinence issues and they have an “accident”, you cannot machine wash the internal foam – this will void the warranty on the product, as well as probably wreck it. If this sounds like a possibility for you, then I would advise buying a simple waterproof sheet, to place in-between the foam and the machine-washable outer cover.

Believe it or not, I am going to suggest a “human” product as the best for this purpose – it does the job, is waterproof and washable – and it is only a single layer, so won’t impact on the overall comfort of the memory foam bed.

Hi Mara, After checking out these dog beds, I really like the first one, the Brindle soft memory foam, The price is right in the ballpark for my budget, and I won’t be having the problem of our dog wetting the bed. :).

I think for the price it should be a great dog bed, the benefits out way the one negative.

Thank you for leaving your feedback – it’s great that there’s something there that you feel will work for you and your dog. I’m glad you mention the positives outweigh the one negative, as I do try and give a fair and balanced view to the products I review. I do research to find the best products, but it pays to highlight anything negative as well so no-one feels they are blinded into making a purchase that doesn’t suit. Let me know how you get on with it and all the best to you.
